MCT5211TVM

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MCT5211TVM is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by onsemi, formerly Fairchild Semiconductor. It features an NPN phototransistor output with a base connection for enhanced performance. Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100 V and a maximum collector current of 150 mA. The device offers a minimum current transfer ratio (CTR) of 150% at a forward current of 50 mA. It provides high isolation capability with an insulation voltage of 4170 Vrms. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and is housed in a 6-DIP package.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Integrates an NPN phototransistor with a dedicated base terminal to allow for external control or improved switching characteristics.
• Provides high-voltage electrical isolation between input and output circuits to protect sensitive components.
• Designed for low input current operation to reduce power consumption in the driving circuitry.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• Signal isolation in microprocessor systems
• Solid-state relay interfaces
• Switch-mode power supply feedback loops

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as onsemi acquired Fairchild Semiconductor's assets. Confirm the specific suffix 'TVM' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging variant if required for automated assembly. Check for obsolete status notices from original Fairchild documentation, as production may have transitioned to onsemi part numbers. Ensure RoHS compliance details are current per the latest datasheet revision.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a phototransistor output with a base pin is required for faster switching or linear operation compared to standard variants. The 100 V collector-emitter voltage rating suits applications requiring higher output voltage handling than the 30 V rated MCT5210M. Verify that the 150% CTR meets the logic level requirements of the receiving circuit. Ensure the 6-DIP package fits the available PCB footprint.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

The MCT5211 series belongs to the family of low input current phototransistor optocouplers originally developed by Fairchild Semiconductor. This series includes variants like the MCT5210M and MCT5211M. The MCT5211TVM represents the specific tape-and-reel packaged version of the MCT5211M, facilitating surface-mount or automated through-hole insertion processes. These devices are designed for general-purpose isolation tasks.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the source material. Users should consult onsemi official documentation for direct replacements or cross-reference guides due to the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor.
